Spent today in Mt Rainier National Park. We drove to Paradise, drinking in fabulous views of Rainier’s snowy peak. From there we hiked the 2.5 miles to Glacier overlook and marveled at the glacial flows and the beauty of the glacial lake. Back in the parking lot we saw a cute little chipmunk long enough to get his photo. Then we drove to Kent in the Seattle area, set up at a KOA and found a great dinner at BBQ Pete’s – some really good pulled pork washed down with Shiner Bock.
For our first adventure together on the Emerald Isle, we walked the streets of Cobh, County Cork, explored St Colman’s Cathedral, and visited the Cobh Heritage Center.
Our brief stop in Portland Port in Dorset, England yielded just enough time to get a tiny taste of the historic town of Weymouth, a Cream Tea, and a desire to return.
After a guided bus tour of the City of Belfast we visited the Titanic Belfast Museum located at the Harlan & Wolff shipyard where the great ship was built.
Chipmunks must love posing in the western part of the U.S….my dad got a picture of one just sitting on a rock in Yellowstone! They are so adorable! The mountain looks gorgeous! I love seeing snow – one of the things I miss most living in Florida;-)
Breathtaking!
Mt. Rainier looks breathtaking and a little chilly.
Hmm… want to adopt the “cute” chipmunk that took a liking to my garden this summer?
